which will begin landing in subscribers' mailboxes at the end of next week.The cover artwork by artist Cliff Rusch is a visual
interpretation of a postmodern translation of Genesis. This work is part of a
book-length art project called "Redesigning Genesis." Rusch created this projectaround writer/musician Mike
Mennard’s translation of Genesis. In
"Redesigning Genesis," Rusch’s intention was “to parallel the new-ness of this
translation by approaching design and visual form in non-traditional ways that
breathe new life into the original meaning of the text." Cliff Rusch is a professor of art and the art director of public relations at Pacific Union
